With the New York Knicks<\/a> on the brink of the team’s first championship since 1973, Knicks fans are looking to give the team a home-town environment despite Game 5 being on the road. Knicks markets have accounted for 54% of all tickets sold<\/a> ahead of the game, despite it taking place in San Antonio<\/a>.<\/p>\n

That figure comes via Gametime, and is a drastic departure from the number of Knicks fans who attended both Game 1 and Game 2 of the series, both of which were in San Antonio.<\/p>\n

Only 17% of all tickets purchased for Game 1 came from Knicks markets, which include both New York and New Jersey, per Gametime’s data. That figure was 23% for Game 2.<\/p>\n

When the series shifted to New York in Games 3 and 4, Knicks fans did a tremendous job keeping San Antonio Spurs<\/a> fans out of Madison Square Garden. Spurs markets accounted for just 1% of all tickets sold for both Game 3 and Game 4.<\/p>\n

But with the Knicks in a spot to close things out in Game 5, interest from New York and New Jersey markets has skyrocketed. Forty-one percent of all tickets sold for Game 5 have been purchased in New York. Thirteen percent have been purchased in New Jersey. By comparison, Texas has accounted for just 12% of all ticket sales for Game 5.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"With the New York Knicks on the brink of the team’s first championship since 1973, Knicks fans are…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":335500,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[16024,31021,6537,6396,41988,119832,82,84,83,1594,4847,509],"class_list":["post-335499","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-san-antonio","tag-deaaron-fox","tag-jalen-brunson","tag-nba-finals","tag-new-york-knicks","tag-og-anunoby","tag-point-performance","tag-san-antonio","tag-san-antonio-headlines","tag-san-antonio-news","tag-spurs","tag-the-spurs","tag-victor-wembanyama"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/335499","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=335499"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/335499\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/335500"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=335499"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=335499"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=335499"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
